I've estimated that I generally spend about $2000 a year on consumable products for my tank (electricity, bulbs, salt, food etc). So now I regularly sell frags from nearly everything in my systems to off set the upkeep costs. I'm pretty excited because this year I should break even.

I know.. it is sad how a company who wasn't even owned by a canadian for the last 5 years can brainwash a nation into thinking bad coffee is good.

The wendys people did a great job keeping the sale relatively quiet and most people don't seem to know tims is not Canadian anymore.
